To begin the activation process, navigate to the latest release of qbactivator and download one of the packages and extract the contents to the same location as the QuickBooks POS installer (if applicable).
Tip
Download the *.min.zip archive for a compact, portable package (~8KB in size).
Before installing QuickBooks Point of Sale, it is recommended that you take the necessary precautions to safeguard any existing company data in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks Point of Sale XX.0\Data (if present) by creating a backup and archive (.zip, .rar, .tar.gz, etc.) Additionally, ensure that any prior versions of QuickBooks Point of Sale are uninstalled before proceeding with the new installation.
Ensure that you possess a legitimate copy of the QuickBooks POS installer package that bears the original name from the download, such as QuickBooksPOSV19.exe or QuickBooksPOSV12.exe, etc. In the event that the name has been altered, the activator will not be able to recognize the installer. The option to download an installer is always available.
The activator will initially look for the installer (.exe) in the current location, assuming that you have your own installer (.exe) and require installation and activation of QuickBooks POS. If the executable is not found (failed to locate), you will receive a prompt to select a different action, which will allow you to decide whether you want to re-locate the installer, download an installer package or proceed with the activation if you have already installed QuickBooks Point of Sale.
Note
If an internet connection is available, qbactivator is able to download the necessary patch file and installer for activation when they are not present. However, the download duration may differ depending on the speed of your internet connection.
For any issues or errors that you may encounter during the activation, check the FAQs for possible solutions.

Note
If you like QuickBooks® Point of Sale, please purchase the software from Intuit®. Yes, the cost may be as high as the executives were when they set these prices, but in return (while not always helpful) you get "professional" technical support among other online features you may find helpful to your business.
